Cheaper than the liability of hitting someone on the head or even a hood (bonnet) of an automobile:rolleyes:

Just sent mine off for some stress cracks in the body and a gimbal crack I noticed back in March. Do they typically repair them or just send a new unit?

Also just discovered a gimbal crack right near a screw.

I'm not going to attempt to repair something under warranty. Just seems asinine even as someone who takes pride in working on my own vehicles/motorcycles. If they feel like it they can deny warranty because of modification. Once you epoxy or drill holes you are hiding the obviousness it was a...

From an engineering standpoint this points to defective assembly/molding rather than in flight aerodynamic force. The location of the tabs close to the edge and the thickness of the polymer surrounding the tabs are not particularly robust features. Also, one possibility is the top fuselage piece...

I'm all about working on my own things, but if its covered under warranty I'm going to make DJI eat the cost. I didn't pay 1K to have to drill stop cracks, do epoxy/fiberglass work, or zip tie stitch plastic like a worn out snowmobile. I will likely wait another month or so for DJI supply to...

Hmm insurance fraud on a serial number tracked drone? I wouldn't want to dabble in that. My experience with State Farm has been great so far, If I had an honest claim I wouldn't doubt they'll take care of me. The peace of mind is easily worth $30 IMO.

Yes, I do fly in sport mode often, but I feel as if my Mavic has relatively low time despite being 4-5 months old. DJI is telling me to send it in, sounds like it shouldn't be a big hassle for warranty coverage.

I believe d is correct.

I thought about that, but there really isn't anything to generate much heat in that area. I would guess just expansion and contraction of the polymer through atmospheric temperature fluctuations (I've flown in Hawaii and AK) and a thin section from the molding process.

Had my Mavic about 5 months or so, and have noticed two symmetrical bulges slowly appear on the nose, and grow larger. I didn't think it was that big of a deal, but now that cracks are appearing it's irritating. Haven't crashed or dropped it, everything works great on it. I will likely get a...

Mine worked out as well. Just makes me a little uneasy when firmware updates stop, usually a good way to brick most electronics I'm used to.

Mine was stuck on 73% the first time as well, wth. Do they test these updates? Oh yeah, we are the ones testing. Round two, fight!

Right angle lightnings are much more convenient. The actual USB end doesn't need to be right angled.
